It's 7:33 as I write this, on the way home from the train station at around 7:22 listening to the Yankee game, and their amazing announcing duo. David Murphy was up and Suzyn Waldman correctly reminded the audience that he was one of the players acquired in the Eric Gagne deal. Nothing wrong with that, Yankee announcers subtley bashing a terrible Red Sox move, I can't complain. Then she said how Kason Gabbard was one of the other players in the trade, also fine. Sterling then asked who the third player was, and Walman admitted that she didn't know, again that's fine (it was Engel Beltre). But then she said how Gabbard was derailed by injuries last year and is in the Rangers AAA team, that's not fine. Gabbard did have injuries last year but he was acquired by the Red Sox this year. I don't mind if someone can't remember a third player in a trade from 2 years ago, but when you talk and you sound convincing and you're wrong? Then I mind.
I know this is nitpicking a bit, but I felt the need to get this out, file it in the overflowing why Suzyn Waldman sucks file and then forget about it.
